Setting up Apache

[Serg B.]

Probably a default virtual host is defined somewhere.

Get into your base Apache configuration directory. Maybe something like:
cd /etc/apache2

Then recursively grep for the "var/www". This should show you where
the setting is.
grep -R "var/www" /etc/apache2/*

Also be careful not to override your custom settings with default
/home/*/public_html settings.
